Yesterday I was informed by a credit counselor that the average grocery bill for a household of 2 is $250 - a MONTH. We have tried and tried and we have a hard time getting our weekly Walmart grocery purchases under $150 - a WEEK. I cook dinner every night for us. My husband is open minded and understanding but I am not looking for answers like 'eat beans every night, a bag of beans will last you a month,' etc. etc. I'd like some inexpensive recipes. Also I love coupons but hardly ever see coupons for items I actually use. I do not buy generic or store brand EVERYTHING, although I do buy store brand paper plates, pasta, and cheese. My husband loves his goodies but lately he has limited it to stuff that is on sale, $1 items, or off brands. He told me he has limited his goodies as much as he can. Please help - I have a hard time believing that $250 a MONTH is possible. Also secondary question - do you believe it's possible? I wonder where the credit couseling company got this information and also how old it is. Groceries have gone up by 50%, I swear. :(
